A North Carolina dad “tackled” and held down a suspect home invader at gunpoint Thursday after hearing his daughter scream, investigators said. The confrontation unfolded Thursday evening at a home in Lincolnton, N.C. – about 30 miles northwest of Charlotte – after the daughter and her mother returned home from a dentist appointment, investigators said. The father had been lying in bed with his wife when he heard their daughter scream, Charlotte’s WBTV reported, citing investigators. Investigators said the father “tackled” the suspected home invader – later identified as 43-year-old Jason Kane Tillman – and held him at gunpoint until deputies arrived at the scene. Tillman was arrested and charged with breaking and entering, attempted breaking and entering to a building, larceny from a building and possession of stolen property.
